Time Magazine Names Nicole Hurd Among 31 People Changing the South

Nicole Hurd, founder and CEO of College Advising Corps, was among Time magazine's 31 trailblazers changing the south. With roots in Charlottesville, Virginia, the advising program that helps underserved students with the college application process quickly expanded to meet needs. The program has successfully helped an estimated 300,000 students since its inception in 2005. Nicole's commitment to higher education access is undeniable and, with the recent $20 million gift from the Ballmer Group, College Advising Corps hopes to enroll one million low-income, first-generation college students by 2025.
